In 1955, MARC was founded by dedicated parents who envisioned all people with disabilities as integral, celebrated members of the community. What began as their way of connecting and offering support to one another, soon became the foundation of MARC. Through the years, MARC has opened multiple group homes, created business ventures, started a home ownership program, began a recreation and a self-advocacy group, and so much more! Today we are a multi-faceted organization serving hundreds of adults and children with disabilities in employment, community living, and recreation programs.
MARC Community Resources is also an affiliated chapter of The Arc, the largest national volunteer-based organization devoted solely to advocacy on issues pertaining to individuals with I/DD and their families. On the statewide level we are also very active with The Arc CT. MARC is also proud and grateful to be the recipients of a Middlesex United Way grant that supports our Adult Leisure Program and our outreach and advocacy efforts.
Our Mission
Empower people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) to make their own life choices and aid in the fulfillment of their dreams - through employment, housing, social, and community involvement and advocacy.
